I have been thinking of replacing the laces on my Scarpa Invernos with ski boot buckles. The problem: the boots fit great, but I can't seem to get the necessary tightness using the standard lacing, or they loosen up throughout the day. It would be nice to be able to really get some mechanical advantage on them and also be able to adjust them without removing gloves (i.e. undo top buckle for hiking, and then clamp them down for climbing). Anyone heard of this being done? I know it kinda goes against the backpacking light mantra, as it will probably add some weight, but the functionality really appeals to me.
